The effect of different oils and diets on methane
release in an artificial rumen (Rusitec)

The effect of three different diets (100% fresh lucerne, Experiment I; fresh lucerne/ maize 60:40, Experiment II; fresh lucerne/maize 40:60, Experiment III) and fat sources (linseed, rapeseed, fish oil, 5%wt·wt^-1) on methane production was studied in vitro. In experiment IV, 60% fresh lucerne+40% maize was supplemented with 5%wt·wt^-1 of oil blends. Methane production was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) mainly in the diet with linseed and fish oils (24 and 23%, respectively; Experiment I). The control diet consisting of fresh lucerne was characterized by the highest methane production (9.77 mMd^-1) when compared with the control diets rich in concentrate (4.75 mMd^-1).
